I would have liked to see the ride to the hospital, and the reuniting of his family like South Loop Socialite said. It has its slow parts but the triumph of the human spirit was so overwhelming for me it outweighed the bad. I like James Franco as an actor. He’s my substitute Heath Ledger if there can be one. :(<br /><br />I love water!!! The scene when they fell through the rocks into the pretty blue water was AMAZE!! I was thrilled. I did cover my eyes like a little kid when he cut his arm off though. I couldn’t believe he was doing it. Gory but I guess necessary to give life to the plot, and I guess what all the hoopla was about. Overall I enjoyed it. I was puzzled by the Oscar nod though, but whatever you know YT people?<br /><br />Thanks for all the comments!! Hopefully we can vote on a flick we ALL enjoy! I can't wait to hear what you all have to say about Black Swan!Gorgeous_Puddinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10085340272419221124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7156799235665681668.post-78633811056204795802011-05-23T11:08:00.416-07:002011-05-23T11:08:00.416-07:00I agree with many of the others.

It took me 2 nights in a row and a morning to finally finish it because my fiance kept trying to watch it and would both fall asleep. It is an amazing story, but not sure it made for a great movie though. I agree with what someone else said, they should have spent more time on the aftermath...<br />Definitely could've done without seeing that one. <br />I already saw Black Swan.~Mommy+Me~https://www.blogger.com/profile/12863235636095155872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7156799235665681668.post-67071358157357608422011-05-23T06:47:24.188-07:002011-05-23T06:47:24.188-07:00I actually really enjoyed this movie!

I liked seeing his inner dialogue and re-evaluation of his life when he was facing death. I thought Franco did an excellent job of conveying the kind of absolute desperation that one must feel in that situation.<br /><br />I knew the basic story going in but didn't know what happened after he freed himself (and yes I watched!).<br /><br />I can't say I would watch this movie again but I think it is worth watching.keyalushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706394687703975927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7156799235665681668.post-20108429256063735392011-05-20T06:38:14.254-07:002011-05-20T06:38:14.254-07:00Strange because as I came to your blog to get upda...Strange because as I came to your blog to get updated, and when I saw the movie 127 Hours (which I just heard about and really want to watch) I thought it would be cool to review Black Swan, a movie I just saw the preview for and decided I have got to see. Then I read and you mentioned it.

I thought it was good. I am glad it was only 90 minutes because there really wasn't a whole lot of story to tell. I would have liked to know more about the aftermath of what happened (Were his parents looking for him?) but we didn't get any of that. I hid behind my laptop during the whole arm-cutting scene so I can't speak too much to that. Hubs said it was gruesome though. Overall we liked it. Hubs thought it almost a little spiritual (with all that destiny talk).<br /><br />I saw Black Swan last week too.K.

I get that it was based on a true story and the lengths this guy went to survive were amazing, but I don't think it translated into film all too well. My husband watched the movie with me and he agreed that it was a major snooze fest. Times like that you're thankful for Netflix and that you didn't waste any money at the theater.<br /><br />I also watched Black Swan and while I wasn't left hating the film, I can't say that I was a fan. I mean, it was just a very strange film... crazy even... and not crazy good... just crazy. I did, however, like the soundtrack for the film... I was dancing around my house like a ballerina for the next day humming the tunes lol... but again, a film I'm glad I didn't drop money on at the box office. Not worth it if you ask me.Isheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17623225698254978433noreply@blogger.com
